Wild Rose

22 Comments

Alberta’s provincial flower since 1930

 

 

My dress is frail and palest pink,

So delicate, my scent,

Before you try to pick me, think,

 Or thorns will make a dent.

    The little Alberta wild roses are so pretty. After having lived there I always think of them as Alberta roses. Lovely picture.

    The wild roses are very pretty but I hate it if they try to take over my garden. Your little poem says it all.

    Dear Anneli
    Great picture and poem. But as Ursula writes, these roses have the tendency to take over the garden.

    I have never tried to plant these in my garden and now I shan’t after all the comments about them taking over. I am just lucky to see them on my forest walks and enjoy their colour and scent. Happy Friday Anneli. Allan

    These pretty roses reminded me of my mother’s rose bushes. A nice Mother’s Day thought. ❤

    British wild roses aren’t out yet, but should be soon. Out hedgerows are at present covered in white hawthorn blossom and the verges with oxeye daisies. A riot of white.

    Soon the roses will come and we’ll have blushing hedges.
